Chapter 45: Murder

"How confused are you!" Peng Renhao pursed the corners of his lips and was very disappointed with Shen Pei's expression: "Changqing Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the SAR government, which means that all matters related to the Kokang Republican Army are internal affairs of the SAR government! If the MD government army is allowed to intervene, then what is the face of the SAR government? Isn't a high degree of autonomy just an empty word?"

In fact, it is not Shen Peifu who is really confused, but Peng Renhao himself.

When Tonglai coerced Peng Renhao to attack Changqing Mountain, the so-called "high degree of autonomy" was gone.

"Chairman......" Shen Peifu turned his face, looked directly at Peng Renhao and said, "You are taking the MD government too seriously!"

"Pei Fu, something is not quite right with your attitude today!" Hearing this, Peng Renhao's brows were tightly locked, and he said quite strangely: "When we had a meeting just now, you didn't say a word, and now you actually help Pang Wenlan, the traitor, to speak!"

Shen Peifu was originally just an ordinary Kokang person, but after joining the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army, he became a petty officer.

However, Shen Peifu is very good at expressing herself, and she can always lose no time in impressing Peng Renhao.

What is especially important is that Shen Peifu obeyed Peng Renhao's words, but whenever Peng Renhao said something, Shen Peifu did not say "no".

In addition, Shen Peifu is very talented, so Peng Renhao can rest assured that he can do anything, and over time, Shen Peifu has become Peng Renhao's most trusted person.

Of course, Peng Renhao couldn't treat his cronies lightly, so he promoted Shen Peifu all the way up, and today he became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army, which was completely promoted by Peng Renhao.

Because of this, Peng Renhao has every reason to be surprised by Shen Peifu's appearance today, but this accident seems to have come a little late.

"Because ......" Shen Peifu only spit out these two words, and then stared at Peng Renhao deadly, with a hint of murderous aura in his eyes: "Because I think that Pang Wenlan is more qualified than you for the position of chairman of the Kokang SAR government and commander-in-chief of the Allied Army!"

"What are you talking about?" Peng Renhao never dreamed that Shen Peifu would say such a thing, and he was suddenly furious: "Don't forget who you are to give you today!"

"Of course it's you......" Shen Peifu smiled faintly, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "But, have you ever thought about why you can have the opportunity to give me this qiē?"

Peng Renhao didn't understand the meaning of Shen Peifu's words, and sat there a little stunned: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I try my best to show myself and make myself your cronies, so that you can have the opportunity to appoint me as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied forces. In other words, this is all for myself, not for me. Shen Peifu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and spit out a smoke ring at Peng Renhao.

He has always been submissive in the past, but at this time he is full of disdain.

Peng Renhao suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you join the Allied Army?"

Shen Peifu's answer was very simple: "Because this is what Pang Wenlan requested!"

"Are you Pang Wenlan's undercover agent?!" Peng Renhao hurriedly stood up, trying to pull out a pistol from his waist.

However, he suddenly felt soreness and weakness, and involuntarily sat back in his chair, his hand in the holster of the gun desperately pulled, but he was unable to pull the gun out.

At this time, he realized one more thing, that is, Shen Peifu poisoned the tea.

"I'm indeed undercover!" Shen Peifu pursed her lips and admitted calmly: "I have been lurking by your side for so many years, just to wait for this day. ”

In an instant, Peng Renhao fully understood that Pang Wenlan had been tolerating him repeatedly, one was because he was really afraid that he would cut off the lifeline of the Kokang Republican Army, and the other was because he had set such a chess piece by his side.

Thinking that over the years, there has been an undercover agent lurking by his side, and he has also gained his trust, Peng Renhao suddenly shuddered.

He wanted to call for help, but the poison came very quickly and violently, and it only took a moment for him to fall into a state of paralysis.

It took a lot of effort for Peng Renhao to breathe, and gradually, his eyelids couldn't blink normally, and he could only stare at Shen Peifu with blank eyes.

At this time, only the sweat glands on Peng Renhao's body could still work normally, and when an unprecedented fear hit, sweat soaked Peng Renhao's whole body.

"Actually, you are not a bad person, there is nothing wrong with maintaining Kokang peace and allowing Kokang people to live a stable and happy life. But you forget that there are two things in this world that are more precious than the peace and stability you love: dignity and freedom. The dignity and freedom of a people are priceless and cannot be exchanged for anything. Shen Peifu took another puff of cigarette, and her tone was still flat: "What dignity does we have in our trembling life under the fence?! Although we have a so-called high degree of autonomy, the MD government does not want to annex us all the time, what is there to be nostalgic for such a fragile freedom?!"

When Shen Peifu said these words, Peng Renhao's pupils gradually expanded, his eyes became divergent, and his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper.

"The decision to attack the Kokang Republican Army forced me to get rid of you now, so you should feel glad ......" This sentence made Peng Renhao, who was gradually dying, feel a little confused, and Shen Peifu obviously didn't want to leave any doubts, glanced at Peng Renhao, and continued: " Originally, I planned to launch a mutiny to overthrow you, but the current situation requires me to maintain internal unity and stability, so I will announce that you died of a heart attack, and I will hold a memorial service for you, at which you will make a positive and positive evaluation of your life, and you can die with peace of mind. ”

Just when Shen Peifu said the last word, Peng Renhao gave up his last struggle, and his life came to an end.

Shen Peifu walked to Peng Renhao's side, took his pulse, then smiled coldly and walked out of the office quickly.

Mutiny is a very technical job, and it is not uncommon for you to be mutiny by your subordinates before you succeed in your own mutiny.

Interestingly, this behavior cannot be relied on experience, and the more experienced a person is in the mutiny, the lower the chance of a successful mutiny.

Shen Peifu rebelled, and Deqin Bataan also planned to rebel, both of them actually had no experience in rebellion, but Shen Peifu's appearance was more mature than Deqin Badan.

After Deqin Bataan and Pang Wenlan broke up, they couldn't find a good way to think about it, so they simply called all the officers to a meeting to try to give full play to the wisdom of the masses.

Dechen Badan, who was busy with the mutiny, had no idea that the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army had arrived at Changqing Mountain, which was not far from them, and a mutiny was also brewing.

However, Deqin Bataan and Shen Peifu have one thing in common, that is, they have made up their minds a long time ago to oppose the water MD government, and have made full preparations for this.

Today, the officers of the regiment are basically Dechen Bataan's men.

"That's how it is!" Dechen Bataan did not detour in the slightest, and went straight to the point, and then asked the officers for their opinions: "I don't hide anything in front of you, but how to tell my brothers under my command, I don't have any ideas!"

The chief of staff knew very early on that Deqin Bataan was going to turn against the water, so he had been worried for many years, but now that he really wanted to start implementing it, he put his heart down: "Since Pang Wenlan has made it clear that all the officers and soldiers will stay in office, then there is nothing difficult to do." Tell the brothers directly, stay if you want to stay, and send some severance pay to let them go home if you don't want to. ”

"It's fine. Dechen Bataan nodded, and immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to be gathered together.

"All the brethren!" Dechen Bataan stood on a high place, glanced at the team below, and said slowly, "Gather everyone together, there is an important matter to announce!"

Seeing this scene in front of them, all the officers and men who were a little smarter had already realized that something unusual was going to happen.

Under normal circumstances, the regiment commander gave a lecture, and all officers and men were to line up in order, with the officers standing directly in front of the soldiers.

This time, however, the officers did not order a line, but gathered around the soldiers.

Although the officers looked relaxed, their eyes looked nervous, and they swept over the soldiers, intentionally or unintentionally.

Because there was no one to order, the soldiers did not know what to do, and they were huddled together in a mess, looking up at Dechen Bataan.

"Whether it is an officer or a soldier here, it should be clear that I, Dechen Bataan, have always regarded everyone as brothers. What I do to you, everyone is also very clear in their hearts, so I won't say more. In normal days, whether I talk to everyone or do things, I always go straight to the point, since there are no outsiders now, I, the head of the regiment, will say a few heartfelt words to you. Taking a deep breath, Dechen Badan continued: "In our group, only I, Dechen Bataan, am Burmese, and the rest are ethnic minorities, including Shan, Jingpo, Kachin and so on. Because of this, we usually suffer from the bullying and whiteness of the MD government, and we are difficult in terms of material supply, and our treatment is worse than that of other troops. No matter how talented our officers and men are, don't expect to be promoted......

These things that Dechen Bataan said are well known, but usually everyone understands them in their hearts, and no one says them on the surface.

At this time, Dechen Bataan was so straightforward that not only surprised those who were still in the dark, but also immediately won the same feeling of all the officers and soldiers.

There was a "buzzing" sound in the procession, and everyone nodded or shook their heads, but all of them had indignant expressions on their faces.

Dechen Bataan pressed his hands downward, signaling everyone to be quiet, and at the same time raised his voice: "Although I am of Burmese nationality, I have never considered this identity, in my opinion, human dignity is the same, not because of what nationality I belong to. I have never treated you as subordinates, no matter what race you are, no matter what rank you are, no matter what your status is, I have always regarded you as brothers!"

Dechen Badan sighed and shook his head again, showing a very regretful expression.

The previous words were all foreshadowing, and then Dechen Bataan was about to get to the point: "However, some people are unwilling to let me do this, thinking that I am a disgrace to the Burmese and that I am the scum of the soldiers! This person is our division commander Thonglai! This time he entered the Kokang Republican Army, and the expression of our regiment made him very dissatisfied. Why is he not satisfied? because he needs an excuse to get rid of me!"

In fact, even if Deqin Bataan does not say it, some well-informed and observant soldiers have long been aware of this.

No matter what angle you look at, the soldiers don't want anything to happen to Dechen Bataan.

From a personal point of view, Dechen Bataan is a good person, and if he had changed to other regimental leaders, he would never have treated everyone as kindly as he does now;

From a general point of view, it is not impossible for the Thonglai or MD governments to take advantage of this reason to abolish the establishment of the 206th Regiment and disperse all the officers and soldiers to other units.

It is completely conceivable that these minority soldiers will inevitably be subjected to a lot of white eyes and bullying at that time.

More importantly, the deep friendship that the officers and men have forged with Dechen Bataan for so long cannot be replaced by anything, so when Dechen Bataan said this, the ranks suddenly erupted into an even more violent "buzz", and the indignation of all officers and men was further enhanced.

"As you know, I, Dechen Badan, can't fight Thonglai no matter what, and my brother-in-law is General Maung Aye, but all I have is your brothers. I don't want to die yet, so I can only find a way out for myself......" Deqin Bataan looked at everyone's appearance and smiled bitterly: "Everyone knows that the Kokang people have always been good to us, Deqin Bataan has been with the Kokang people since he was a child, and he has a good relationship with them, so ...... I have decided to defect to the Kokang Republican Army!"

As soon as Dechen Bataan's words came out, the "buzzing" sound below immediately stopped.

Although the soldiers had already heard the smell of rebellion from what they had just said, Dechen Bataan made everyone feel a little sudden.

Dechen Bataan raised his voice again, and shouted almost hoarsely: "In other words, I, Dechen Bataan, am going to rebel!"

The chief of staff standing next to him immediately quietly pulled the placket of Radchinbadan's shirt, and then reminded in the lowest possible voice: "Regiment commander, we are not a rebellion, we are an uprising!"

Dechen Bataan immediately corrected and said, "Oh, yes, I, Dechen Bataan, am going to revolt!"
